Tennessee’s #1 Lightning Protection Contractor
Middle Tennessee is the state’s growth and horse country in one: custom homes on wooded hillsides in Belle Meade, Forest Hills, Brentwood, and Franklin, fast-growing suburbs from Murfreesboro to Hendersonville, and horse farms across Williamson, Rutherford, and Bedford County — Shelbyville walking-horse country included. Storms roll up the Tennessee Valley all spring and summer, and they find the tallest rooftops, barns, and hardwoods first. We protect the whole property: main house, barns, arenas, shops, and guest houses, every building covered.
From Belle Meade and Forest Hills through Brentwood and Franklin to Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, and the farm country beyond, Middle Tennessee mixes fine custom homes with working horse properties on rolling, wooded ground. The exposure is doubled: big homes under tall hardwoods with complex rooflines in town, and barns, arenas, and run-in sheds standing in open pasture outside it. Storms crossing the valley roll through at full strength all season, and a strike to a chimney or barn roof can tear masonry, ignite framing or hay, and send destructive current through every circuit on the property.
WB Lightning Rods protects Middle Tennessee properties the way we’ve protected fine homes and horse farms since 1950: low-profile systems designed around the architecture, heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, and whole-property plans that design the main house, guest houses, barns, arenas, and shops in together. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner.
Nashville’s established neighborhoods carry big homes and mature trees side by side, with chimneys above the canopy. Trees and rooftops share the strike zone — a designed system covers both.
From Franklin to Shelbyville, barns, arenas, and run-in sheds stand in open pasture — the tallest structures around, holding animals, hay, and tack. A barn fire is the worst-case loss protection is built to prevent.
Williamson and Rutherford County keep clearing land for custom homes. A new roof on open ground is the tallest structure on its lot — and a system designed in from the start protects it from day one.
One company for the whole property — custom homes, horse farms, barns, and shops, anywhere in Middle Tennessee.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Low-profile systems designed around fine architecture — custom homes in Belle Meade, Forest Hills, Brentwood, and Franklin, with clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines.
Discreet, low-profile systems for older farmhouses and historic homes — clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines, protection you have to look for to see.
Barns, stables, and arenas protected along with the residence — horses, hay, and tack, all covered.
Agricultural buildings, equipment shops, and hay storage — the tallest structures on the farm, and the ones lightning finds first.
We protect all of your buildings — main house, barns, arenas, shops, and guest houses — with a lifetime of protection. Multi-building packages price the whole property together, so protecting everything costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Mature oaks, maples, and specimen trees protected with their own terminals and grounding, so a shade tree never becomes the strike path to your roof.
Neighbors who install together save together — neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages for your street, road, or lake shore.
Complete installations and repairs — that’s the work. Already have a system? We inspect it, repair storm damage and wear, and bring older installations up to current NFPA 780 standards. We make old systems great again.
Building new? We design and install protection while the home or barn is going up — cleaner cable runs, nothing retrofitted after the fact.
Every WB system is built to NFPA 780 guidelines using UL-listed materials made in the USA — and designed for Middle Tennessee specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and arena roofs — the high points lightning seeks first on Middle Tennessee properties.
Heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, carrying strike energy safely down and away from the structure.
Deep-driven ground rods at each structure, sized for Middle Tennessee clay and limestone-country soils, so strike energy disperses safely into the earth.
Metal roofing, gutters, water lines, and electrical services bonded to the protection system, so stray current can’t side-flash between metal parts.
Barns, arenas, pole barns, equipment shops, guest houses, and garages incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Middle Tennessee property is rarely one building. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design — main house, guest house, barns, arenas, shops, and garages, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, pool equipment, gate operators, and arena lighting all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies street by street. Neighbors on the same road who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Tennessee statewide, a Nashville home and a second property at the lake or in the Smokies are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.

Very little, when it’s designed properly. We use low-profile terminals and route heavy conductor cables cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, following the architecture instead of fighting it. On most Nashville custom homes, visitors never notice the system until it’s pointed out — but it is working every storm.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, a fence, or utility lines down the road can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, pool equipment, and electronics. That’s why grounding and bonding matter as much as the terminals on the roof: a properly grounded system gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth at the structure itself.
Yes — and we recommend it. Every structure on the property is designed into one plan: main house, guest house, barns, arenas, and shops, each with its own terminals, conductors, and grounding, priced together as a property package.
Yes. When several homes on the same street or road install in the same trip, everyone shares the travel and setup — and we pass that saving on as a neighborhood discount on multi-home packages. It’s the most affordable way to protect a whole street, and it only takes one organizer to get it started.
A tall tree close to the house can side-flash a strike into the roof, or send current through its roots toward the foundation. We offer lightning protection for trees themselves — their own terminals and grounding — and we factor nearby trees into every property design.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Property packages price multiple buildings together, which brings the per-building cost down. Estimates are free — many are built from satellite imagery of your property — and every system carries a lifetime warranty on parts and labor.
